For Abbi’s party, I’m going as this guy:
(hes in CSI Miami, btw). Basically, I’m going to wear sunglasses, then take them on and off all the time for no reason, cross and uncross my arms a lot, stand sideways to people I’m talking to and talk…like this…all…the time. In other words, I will annoy everyone to the point of getting sent home.
It’ll be one hell of a party!
I’m in PSHE.
But I’m blogging.
Lol.
On a much more happy note, the past few days have been perfect examples of why I am friends with who I am. Here a justr a few quotable quotes*:
“but I just bought these giant anime laser surgery eyes!”
“but its your grandaughter!” “so? I’ve already got a grandmother”
“oh, I get it. You’re Hitler” (hey, i know it was me who said it but I thought it was funny)
“oh, how silly!”
“look! its his pet shark…Sharkey!”
*quotes may be slight misquotes as I did not write them down and also my memory is rubbish. Bye!
In a recently released trailer for the Simpsons Movie, theres a very, very, VERY brief scene where three instrument- wielding men fall off a capsizing boat. Heres a screenshot:
Does that or does that not look exactly like Green Day?
The amount of films I’ve seen in the last few months has increased about 400%, but none of them were as original, cleverly funny or just plain awesome as Hot Fuzz.
It struck me as a mix between Shaun of the Dead (made by the same people), Transporter and Midsommer Murders, where Nick Angel, a skilled by-the-books Metropolitan Police Officer (Simon Pegg) makes his department look rather half-baked, so is relocated to a sleepy countryside village where he joins oafish PC Danny Butterman (Nick Frost), fighting what little crime takes place, until some strange (and enjoyable imaginative) deaths take place.
Right from the off there was one-liner after one-liner, and not one fell flat. The comic genius of Pegg, Frost and Edgar Wright shone throughout, and the brilliant climax was full of blatantly entertaining action. A lot of the humour comes from Pegg and Frost’s mismatched team and Cop Movie traditions set in the thoroughly british village, and there is fun to be had spotting all the pop-culture references (a lot of which are from SOTD). The best bits concern the local Neighbourhood Watch, which consists of the usual fuddy-duddy oldies - all of which have a psychopathic bent for surprising reasons - when Pegg asks why a hilariously untalented thespian had to be murdered, he is met with “Well, HE murdered Bill Shakespeare”. Besides that, the trigger-happy climax wouldn’t look out of place in the best Hollywood blockbusters.
I give it 5 Japanese Peace Lillies out of 5.
In an impressive coinkydink, I had the same conversation today as I did yesterday regarding the relationship between Dorks, Nerds and Geeks, and how they compare.
I shall now explain my theory, via the medium of graphs:
As you can see, Geeks such as myself are superior to the more Star Trek- oriented Nerds and Dorks.
